Pre-major Advising Workshop (PAW)

The Pre-major Advising Workshop (PAW) is designed for criminal justice and law enforcement students after admission to the University. PAW sessions introduce students to SLC programs, policies and procedures. All workshops are held at the Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Education Center in Brooklyn Park.

Attendance at a PAW is one of the requirements for law enforcement and criminal justice students to declare their major.

Students who do not have an approved major by this deadline may be prevented from registering.
